A short video from the 174th Highland Games in Bridge of Allan.

Bridge of Allan Highland Games – also known as the Strathallan Meeting – has held a central place in traditional Scottish sport for more than 160 years. Before that its origin can be found in the sports gatherings of ordinary country folk when the Lairds met to play ‘Tilting at the ring’, under a charter granted by James I in 1453.
A link to the old Wappenschaws -a kind of medieval ‘Home Guard’ – when every grown man had to show his weapons in good order, is tenuous but what is certain is that by the early 19th century competitive sports were taking place here on a regular basis. William Litt of Cumbria wrote in 1823 of: “The famous old school of wrestlers in Strathallan, Stirlingshire”.
